Dylann Roof will be representing himself in court — after a federal judge granted the accused killer's motion to represent himself when he goes on trial for murdering nine people at a black church. That decision came just days after Roof was deemed competent to stand trial for the June 2015 massacre in South Carolina. But the shocking decision could become another twisted turn in a horrific case!

Dylann Roof will be representing himself in court — after a federal judge granted the accused killer's motion to represent himself when he goes on trial for murdering nine people at a black church. That decision came just days after Roof was deemed competent to stand trial for the June 2015 massacre in South Carolina. But the shocking decision could become another twisted turn in a horrific case!

The National ENQUIRER has already uncovered the secrets of Roof's crazed racist rants, as hidden in diaries seen by top law enforcement sources. The bizzare passages suggest that the defendant is determined to follow his idol Charles Manson in seizing the spotlight during a criminal trial. Roof could even use the testimony of tragic witnesses as an excuse for obsessive rants about a race war!

The high-school dropout also listed links to internet chat rooms and websites that appeal to white supremacist groups, the source said — adding: “He writes, ‘I like’ Adolf Hitler and also Charles Manson – calling them ‘real warriors in the fight!’ The diary also refers to finding ‘the right places to unleash hell!’”

The source told The ENQUIRER that Roof's secret diaries proclaim, "I"m the devil!" — and his racist writings even show premeditation in the savage murders. “Roof clearly wanted to explode a race war,” the insider told The ENQUIRER. “The diary is filled with his murderous plans, and [his] desire to take part in a ‘Helter Skelter’–type revolution against black people!"

Said the source: “It’s clear that he believed after the Charleston shootings ‘a race war will definitely break out,’ and move up the East Coast. In his fantasy, Roof believed places like New York City would explode in a war between whites and blacks. He was absolutely mad!”

“He also believed his rampage would spur copycat killers to go into malls and main streets and ‘go crazy,’” added the insider. "He even believed the killings would spread from the United States to other countries, and start a global race war. He truly wanted an apocalypse to happen!”

Other reports initially said that Roof claimed to be “part of a ‘White Terrorist’ plot,” while predicting “more mass murders may be imminent.” The government source insisted otherwise: “In his twisted mind, Roof may have thought he was part of a larger conspiracy. But in reality, it appears he was just a deranged loner!”
